B) grasses
C) palm trees
D) maple trees

Accepted Answer

Monocots are a type of flowering plant that have one cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, in their seeds. Grasses, such as wheat, corn, and rice, are a common example of monocots and belong to the family Poaceae. Peas and maple trees, on the other hand, are dicots and belong to a different class of flowering plants. Palm trees can be either monocots or dicots depending on the species.
